Real applications and exponents
In Innovation Center Bratislava all Atlas Copco solutions are demonstrated on real applications by our experts. You will see real examples of different assembling methods, highly demanded by automotive, aerospace, electronics to increase the quality or safety of assembled products. You can try to manipulate with screws smaller than M1 used in mobile phones or try ergonomics stations and experience different reaction forces of tools, light conditions, positions of the joints and many others.
Press working station
Explore abilities of our press station equipped with 50 kN servopress spindle PST. Our Press spindle tool PST is built on the PowerMacs 4000 controller platform, that is used also for tightening. Servopress provides high accuracy and full control of force, position and speed of press fit in range from 0 – 100 kN. Bring your own parts and we can test and optimize press joints for your application.
Innovative joining solutions station
Atlas Copco is more than just tools. We will present you the full spectrum of hybrid joining technologies such as adhesive dispensing, self-pierce riveting, flow drill fastening and real-time quality inspection systems in automated robot cells in our Innovation Center. Discover the possibilities of hybrid joining with all technologies in one place.
SCA adhesive dispensing
Adhesive bonding and dispensing is a highly versatile joining technology for body shop, paint shop, powertrain and final assembly in the motor vehicle industry as well as in other industry sectors. From structural bonding, hem flange joining and sealing to sound dampening, insulating and thermal conduction – the SCA product line of Atlas Copco ensures precision and uptime, saving material and costs.
Henrob self-pierce riveting
Self-pierce riveting is a clean and cold joining method that leaves no welding spatter and prevents harmful fumes. Different materials and multiple layers can be joined, allowing high freedom in design. With the Henrob product line, Atlas Copco offers flexible, reliable joining with high quality repeatability and short cycle times.
K-Flow drill fastening
Flow drill fastening provides a reliable joint for multi-material design with one-sided access, yet enabling disassembly later on. With high durability and short cycle times, the solutions of Atlas Copco’s K-Flow product line ensure a reliable and repeatable manufacturing process.
Quality Assurance station
Experience the full Quality Assurance platform from Atlas Copco. Regardless if you focus on torque applications, checking tools and joints or on visual or other non-torque inspections, you can find them all at once place. We will show you the complex system of:
- quality checks
- statistical analysis
- quality assurance process control
that integrates seamlessly with production data to secure on-time and clear process flow of all QA activities throughout your manufacturing plant.
PF6 platform
Flexible, innovative and easy to use unique ecosystem. The PF6 platform is more than just controller. You will see multiple tools connected on the same controller, connecting all type of Atlas Copco tools. You can reduce inventory, select functionality which you really need and move your tool during rebalancing within minutes. PF6 is easy to use so don’t bother with difficult learning process of system and if you know how to use PF6000 controller, then you know also PF6 Flex and IxB. What else? Come and see by yourself!
Service
Every single tool in our Innovation center is well treated. What can be more satisfying than precisely maintained and reliable tool. Regular preventive maintenance and calibration helps to prolong tool lifecycle and allows us to provide our presentations and trainings in best possible quality. Doesn’t matter if we talk about HW or SW, all equipment deserves the same top-notch care.
Fixtured/automated applications station
This work station combines a lot of Atlas Copco fixtured solutions.
Fixtured nutrunners are giving unique speed capabilities for high-torque applications. They give possibility of setting up multi-spindle systems which can efficiently reduce cycle times and increase your quality during tightening process.
Thanks to new, miniaturized FLEX controller dedicated for automation and robotics, your integration time may decrease, and its ease of configuration will allow for faster extending of a system.
ACE
Discover that also fixtured applications are movable. Thanks to suspension system, which is reacting the torque generated by a tool and also eliminates the impact to the operator, you can work with not only vertical axis but also move whole station on a rail systems. System should be movable but from a ground? This is also possible. This example work station was integrated by Application Center Europe team, which is capable to deliver any dedicated, optimized and fully integrated project.
ToolsTalk 2
You can check how our all devices and software are connected in accordance with our Smart Connected Assembly vision. As a supplement of existing or future station setup, you can use ToolsTalks 2 for better line overview and simplified controller's management. In our Innovation Center Bratislava, you can see and try how we can support you and imitate your production environment with our Training Room software infrastructure.
ToolsNet 8
At times when you need to have your data under control Atlas Copco brings you real time analytical tool called ToolsNet 8. Connect your reporting tools and enjoy all analytical power of ToolsNet 8. All the capability indices as a Cm, Cmk, Pp, Ppk, Cp, Cpk available all the time with only a few clicks. Discover all the benefits ToolsNet can bring to your production and boost your productivity. Visit our Innovation Centre in Bratislava and learn about our software solutions!
Screwfeeding station
Atlas copco screwfeeding system allows you to speed up cycle time and bring higher quality to your assembly. Even you consider manual tightening system or as a part of automatic station or assembly line, our screwfeeding fits for all applications in range of fastener thread from diameter 3 – 6 mm. In ICB you can get to know the comprehensive system of Atlas Copco tools and screwfeeding!
Errorproofing station
In our Innovation Center, we are ready to present the following solutions and find the answers to the most common errors what could pop up in production.
Tool and joint positioning systems – helps to guide operator across predefined process – which is ready for testing in error-proofing station. 3D positioning with high accuracy and option for visual live operator guidance solve complex demands.
Data collection as production proof action which could defend factories in case of quality claims. But think forward and use data as fuel for automatic analysis and notifications with our advance software ToolsNet8.
Operator guidance and process control as the top of the error-proofing solution which helps to reduce operator dependency and give full transparency. With Scalable Quality Solution software, we give right hand for engineers with user-friendly and quick configuration, for management with full transparency and in the end for operators with reduced stress level with clear instructions.
Come and bring with you some specific questions/application and let us find the best-fit answer.
Low reaction tools station
Friction is everywhere. This keeps our world together, including all tightening joints, but to overcome this we need sometimes quite lot of a torque. While it’s not a problem on small values or fixtured applications, but if operator should hold this 70Nm for entire shift, it becomes real problem. If you need traceability, wireless solutions and very perfect ergonomy, then Low Reaction Tools range is solution for you.
Tensor TBP and Tensor SRB offers low reaction tightening with best ergonomy on market. Both ranges are fully wireless with variety of battery size, both have transducer with ensures that joint is properly tightened, and all results are stored in your database. Now even 150Nm can be performed with 1 hand without any reaction arm. If you would like to experience the difference – visit our Innovation Center in Bratislava.
